38. Supremes gave him an out.

Just like TSF 1.0, tariffs were ruinous but he got rid of them after agreements with Canada etc. Then during TSF 2.0, his hubris didn’t allow him to concede that, yes indeed, tariffs don’t work. So the Supremes helped him out by getting rid of the politically damaging tariffs.
